Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2405: Chapter 2341: Always Responsible for Your Own Actions

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao was stunned.

Chen Kaijin has cancer?

In her past life, Deng Qingjiang had always lied to her, saying Chen Kaijin was seriously ill and needed treatment that required a lot of money, so he kept pushing her to sell her paintings.

At that time, she always felt that, after all, Chen Kaijin was her aunt, and if her paintings could fight back against the illness and save Chen Kaijin’s life, that would be a very meaningful thing.

She thought it was okay to have less money, eat less, and live frugally. What did it matter?

She could save her aunt.

Back then, Chiang Xiao often felt touched by her own actions.

But now, suddenly saying Chen Kaijin has cancer again?

Previously, it should have been false. Chen Kaijin was just not in good health, likely aggravated by Deng Qingjiang’s behavior.

Is it true this time?

"Is this test result real?" Chiang Xiao asked.

Chen Yin shook his head, "I don’t know either. Guo Zitong said he heard the news, but he also found out which hospital Mrs. Deng is at. It’s strange; Deng Qingjiang should have a lot of money now, but among all these major hospitals in the Capital City, he sent her to a small hospital with poor conditions."

"Which hospital?"

"District Three Hospital."

Chiang Xiao knew where that hospital was located.

But as Chen Yin said, the hospital was small, had poor conditions, and was generally visited by nearby residents who didn’t have good financial conditions.

"Xiao Chiang, you wouldn’t be thinking of visiting her, would you?" Wang Yi asked.

He observed that Chiang Xiao looked like she wanted to visit the hospital.

Chiang Xiao smiled, "You’re right, I really do want to go and see."

She wanted to see whether Chen Kaijin truly had a terminal illness this time, or if it was another trick by Deng Qingjiang.

This matter was the biggest knot that influenced her life trajectory in her past life. She wanted to see it, also to give some closure to the past.

"Xiao Chiang, you have a good heart, but you shouldn’t compromise on everything just because someone is sick." Wang Yi knew about the affairs between Deng Qingjiang and Ye Wanqing.

She also knew about the time Chen Kaijin visited Chiang Xiao and later made a scene at the Academy of Fine Arts, resulting in Ye Wanqing’s expulsion.

Because of this, her impression of Chen Kaijin was very negative.

As for Deng Qingjiang, in her eyes, he was someone who despised the poor and admired the rich, ungrateful and shameless, especially when with Ye Wanqing—a complete jerk with no morals or shame.

She sincerely hoped Chiang Xiao would have no involvement with them.

Chiang Xiao laughed softly.

"Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish anymore."

Why should she soften and compromise because of Chen Kaijin’s illness?

If sickness is seen as a universal excuse for forgiveness, does that mean someone who has killed or hurt others can wipe away their sins by falling ill? Does that mean nothing happened?

Life is precious indeed, and goodness is valuable. But for the actions one commits, one must take responsibility, even if on the verge of death.

"That’s good. If you’re not compromising or forgiving them, then don’t bother visiting them. Try not to concern yourself with their matters."

"It’s okay, I should just take a look."

Chen Yin and Wang Yi stayed for dinner, which was cooked by Chen Yin, who said he learned to cook from his mother. If Wang Yi agreed to marry him, he would do the cooking at home in the future.

Chiang Xiao listened and laughed heartily.
